Sayyiduna Abdullah bin al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with them both) says: A man from the tribe of Khath'am came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), my father found Islam when he had already grown old; he cannot ride, and Hajj is obligatory upon him. Shall I perform Hajj on his behalf? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Are you his eldest son?" He said: Yes. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What do you think: if your father owed a debt and you paid it off, would that suffice?" He said: Yes. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then perform Hajj on his behalf."
